We can expect any lawsuits around the enforcement of the DMA to take years though. At least that's how it has happened in practice in the EU when a tech company meets new, unfavorable regulation. If you can't just slap them with a fine, e.g., privacy related stuff, you will have to take the long way through courts.
- JumpCrisscross 3y ago> can expect any lawsuits around the enforcement of the DMA to take years Wouldn't damages be expected if the courts rule adversely? At least in America, if Apple's actions were shown to be illegal, developers would have a claim as a class to damages.
- simfree 3y agoAre those damages less than the money that Apple would make by imposing these terms? There are lots of potential use cases like an F-Droid equivalent which cannot be shipped on iOS with these current terms, but the actual commercial damages are fairly minimal if this were to go to court since stores like F-Droid are not run for profit.
